The livestock Commission Defends Itself
SPRINGFIELD, Jan. Tn conversation with
some members of the Livestock Commission to-
day. it was made clear that they are prepared to
4 ,fend their action not only with reference to
the Shufeldt dissillery cattle but in every other
matter pertaining to their relation with the
Bureau of Animal Industry. In the draft of the
letter which the Governor has requested the
commission to frame in reply to Commissioner
Colman's. they will assert their entire and faith
full observance of every article of their
agreement with the bureau, and will point out
that the acts of which Mr.. Colman complains
are authorized in terms by the rules and regula-
tions of the bureau Colman's letter is regarded
not SO much as bona fide structure upon the
Commission and its condnct, although some col
may have been given to it by the more or less
incorrect reports of the agents of the bureau.
The real object of the letter is construed as an
attack upon the Miller bill, and especially upon
the commission feature of that measure. If
that bill should become a law it would releeate
the Bureau of Animal Industry to a snbordi-
nate place under the control of the Commission.

were to receive $6. 600 for working ND the
advertising and selling the tickets, and 90 per
cent was TO 60 to the widows and orphans fund.
